Government Pressure On Air Tightness Testing
Kingspan Insulated Panels has welcomed a tougher approach by the Government on Part L2 air pressure testing for buildings.
The Part L2-compliant pre-engineered Kingspan system provides a structural platform onto which the timber roof battens are directly fitted, therefore streamlining both the pre-construction design and on-site work stages.
The Kingspan system has a 15-micron-thick white polyester-coated inner steel shell, meaning no need to line the ceiling, which is fire safety rated as a Class 1 surface for spread of flame to BS 476: Part 7: 1987 and LPCB certification.
The Plastisol-coated steel top-weather shell is specially deep-profiled for high structural strength, requiring just a single-fix installation to provide a fully weather tight roof.
